[rds-devel] [External] : [PATCH net v2] rds: Fix inet6_addr_lst NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, inet6_addr_lst
is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init()
is called to initialize it. An attempt to bind an RDS socket to
an ipv6 address results in a crash in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags()
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]

The following code reproduces the issue:
struct sockaddr_in6 addr;
s = socket(PF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
inet_pton(AF_INET6, ADDRESS, &addr.sin6_addr);
addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6;
addr.sin6_port = htons(PORT);
bind(s, &addr, sizeof(addr));
Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
Fixes: eee2fa6ab322 ("rds: Changing IP address internal representation to struct in6_addr")
Fixes: 1e2b44e78eea ("rds: Enable RDS IPv6 support")
